If so, that's sweet , i presume ( because i've used the apogee converters and still in the digital domain that i'm still getting the benefit of the apogee a/d)?
If i had the apogee da16x, could i do the reverse and have the 16 analogues outs from the apogee da into the Toft ATB, using the Profire2626 as a kinda splitter?
Any loss in sound quality with this in's and outs?
and just to clarify...that's 16 simultaneoues in/out (18 with the spdif)
One more thing....have you done this/ is it your set up
I've never used PT M Powered....is it identical to PTLE?
Thanks for the ideas and i'd really appreciate your thoughts.

Hi, you're welcome. That's why we are here... to share and help!
I still have my 002, but I will buy the 2626 shortly.
(I've spent a bunch on high end equipment so the 2626 has to wait
).
But yes, in the paper you can have 16 in and 16 outs from and to your Apogees, but only at 44.1 and 48KHz I think. Then it's 8X8 at 98KHz and 4x4 at 192KHz. But before you go to the store, have a look to post '434' and '435' in this thread. (Actually you should read the all thread
).

'peeder' has been using one 2626, so he's the right guy to answer the questions.
If you only need a "Pro Tools M-powered-dongle-ADAT-splitter" have a look to the Profire Lightbridge with 34in /36out ADAT. But have a good look before you buy the Lightbridge... I've seen people reporting problems with it... but maybe more recent drivers solved the problems... I don't know.
ProFire LightBridge, 96K, WC??? Is Everyone Having Problems With Their Profire Lightbridege? READ THIS!!
M-Powered does not give you the option to use DV Toolkit (the only way to get SMPTE to work with picture) nor to use the upcoming "Complete Production Tool Kit" which would give you 128 tracks and surround mixing. I can't remeber of anything else... but maybe there's something else.
Do a research here in Gearslutz, there a couple of posts that will help you.
